Why David Beckham Nearly Missed the Birth of His and Victoria Beckham's Son Cruz

Transcript

00:00 It was a really difficult time, but I suppose this is all part of the healing process.

00:09 Did I resent David?

00:11 If I'm being totally honest, yes I did.

00:14 We both felt at the time that we were not losing each other, but drowning.

00:18 It's pretty hectic in Europe at the moment.

00:20 There were some days that I would wake up and think, how am I going to go to work?

00:24 David denied cheating on Victoria back in 2004, calling the affair claim ludicrous.

00:29 But the fallout was overwhelming.

00:31 Posh and Becks were hounded by the British tabloids.

00:34 Would you say that was the hardest time in your marriage?

00:37 A hundred percent.

00:38 It's really entertaining when the circus comes to town, right?

00:41 Unless you're in it.

00:43 Victoria revealed another low point in their marriage, when the soccer star almost missed

00:46 the birth of their son, Cruz.

00:48 In 2005, the former Spice Girl was scheduled to have a C-section at a Madrid hospital.

00:53 He said, "Yeah, the thing is, is that I can't do that because I've got to shoot."

00:57 I said, "What do you mean you've got to shoot?"

00:59 "Yeah, I've got to do a photo shoot with Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce."

01:03 Are you kidding me?

01:05 You've got a damn photo shoot with Jennifer Lopez, who is gorgeous.

01:09 And I remember someone showing me the front page of the newspaper, and the headline was,

01:13 What Would Posh Say?

01:14 Let me tell you what Posh would say.

01:15 Posh was pissed off.

01:17 In the new Netflix four-part docuseries Beckham, Posh and Becks also revealed how they struggled

01:22 to keep their budding romance a secret.

01:24 We would meet in car parks, and that's not as seedy as it sounds.

01:27 The first kiss that I ever had with Victoria was in the BMW in a car park.

01:32 Classy.

01:33 We've been together now for 26 years, you know, almost three decades.

01:37 Yes, David, who's kind of an expert on pro athletes dating music superstars, offered

01:41 Taylor and Travis some advice for making it work.

01:44 We've built businesses, but we make time for each other.

01:47 We respect each other.

01:48 Taylor's an amazing talent, and she's an amazing person, and she deserves to be happy.

01:53 As long as she's happy, that's the most important thing.
